Just got home from my breast surgery yesterday, I thought it might be nice to post how it went in case some women here choices to go for it.
Firstly you have a consultation with your surgeon a few weeks before, this appointment is some what nervous as your hoping for a surgeon that is open minded.
I personally meet 2 surgeons and I choice the second one , the reason for this was that the first surgeon I met saw me as cash and and as a mental disorder asking for evidence of treatment for being transsexual. I dont see my self mently I'll and no cis women would be asked and treated like this.
My second surgeon was a lot more friendly and open minded he saw me and treated me as a woman, he took his time on me and sized me up and took photos. He asked for a letter but this was related to my antidepressant not my gender and my local gp was happy to do this for him. His team worked closely with me and we still in contact as expected.
Secondly after you paid for the surgery they confirmed the date and gave me lots of important information beforehand. You can ask any questions and the staff are quick to reply.
The big day was at Dolan Hospital in Birmingham , I was greeted and took to my room they asked me to shower and slip I to their surgery robes socks,knickers and cap. The surgeon came in and I was so happy to see him, he got his marker pen out and started to draw on me. He was very friendly and so was the staff. The room was spotless to the point that my wife had to peel the film of the toilet. I begged her not to use the toilet as she tends to leave a stinker but lucky she opened the window and closed the door.
The person who handles the anaesthetic introduced him self and asked a few questions, and then shortly after a nurse told me I'm next. A guy came to collect me and we walked to the room, I was smiling at this point and everything was so peaceful. My surgeon praised me for my weight gain and recommended we could now go above the muscle and in my case this would be good as my muscles are really tight and would be very painful.
Next thing I knew I woke up in my room, my wife and parents walked in and bless Josie was crying her eyes out as the nurse asked them leave and pick me up the next day. I ensured her I was OK and she left but I made sure she stayed with my parents for her mentle health. I then rested.
A nurse gave me some water but another nurse noticed I was not drinking it so she got me some cranberry juice instead secretly lucky me.
The pain is not so bad in fact it's more uncomfortable then painful.
I feel back to sleep and the nurses checked on me later. Later on a nurse came gave me food and helped me go a toilet. I then watched some TV and to be honest I threw up sick many times and struggle to eat.
The strangest thing then hit me I could feel my wife Josie crying herself to sleep, so I grabbed my phone and phoned her and surprisingly she was trying to sleep but was in fact crying for me, we spoke for ten minutes then she went to sleep.
I tried to eat some more but no luck I kept throwing up. A nurse came kept me some company and we chatted away about my wedding.
Morning after I was in a little pain so took my tablets as prescribed and the nurse lent me her phone charge to phone josie. I phoned her and she was little upset but soon left to pick me up.
I still struggle to eat and threw up again but soon after my wife came to take me home.
The nurses made sure I was OK and walked me to the car.
On the way home I asked a silly question about food and said let's just try some McDonald's and nearly threw up but managed to keep it down.
I'm home now and it's discomfort but not much pain in fact my back hurts more from sleeping elevated than my breast.
Excuse my poor grammar and spelling I'm exhausted and using my wife's phone to type this.
I'm happy and phoned one of my contacts to leave the surgeon a thank you for me and booked my follow up appointment.
